Shot a 86 @ Emies Muni in Davenport, IA. Winter took it's toll on the "feel" shots, but all and all not disapointed one bit. It's been a long time to be able to enjoy the outdoors in this part of the country, so I took solice in that. Gentle winds, low 60's, grass was suprisingly green through out the course considering all the snow/rain this winter. Just a great day to be out. Birdied the last hole, so I got to leave the course on a high note. Only complaint is Emies raises their prices ever year, and not by small amounts, it went up 3 to walk plus 2 on the cart. They need to chill out and remember that there a public course

85 on Friday and 89 on Saturday. Struggling off of the tee. Not sure what i shot my other two rounds as I didn't keep score....but it was terrible.

Played my first official 9-hole round this year.

36 - (5 pars, 2 birdies, 2 bogies)

16 putts
4 fairways (57%)
5 greens (55%)

Was very happy with my iron play and ball striking. Driving was adequate although nothing felt completely solid (2 wayward drives left me no opportunity to hit these greens in regulation). Short game left little to be desired (up-n-down percentage was a whopping 33% - 1 for 3).

Overall I was very encouraged. Going from a combo set to all blades and changing shafts from PX 6.0 to Rifle 6.5's hopefully will payoff!

If you hit every green in regulation and had 22 putts you would shoot 40…..something ain't adding up…..

Finally had a day when the wind wasn't blowing yesterday and thought it would be an easy day, however shot 46-48. Perhaps I score better when I have the wind to help me. That did it, I'm moving to West Texas.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
